Kedaton Monkey forest and discussing how the quality of the designed materials is. The steps of this study
were conducting needs survey, writing the book grid, developing the first draft, expert judgment, trying out the
second draft, evaluating and revising the second draft, writing the final draft. Two instruments were applied
in the study, such as interview and questionnaire. The interview was used to gather the guide's needs. While
the questionnaires were given to the guides in order to know the quality of the materials. The results of this
study show the appropriate type of learning materials needed by the guides were related to three topics:
greeting and introduction, telling the history of Alas Kedaton temple and describing characters/relief in Alas
Kedaton temple. Each topic contained some general elements: front page, lead-in, snapshot, dialogue, language
focus, pronunciation drill, writing activity, reading activity and evaluation. The quantitative data analysis result
the mean score of expert judgments is 4.41 and the mean score of try-out is 4.21. Based on the categorization
using an ideal Mean (Mi) and ideal Standard Deviation (SDi), the 50 statements about the materials belong to
"Good" category. This study concludes that the designed learning materials for the local tour guides in Alas
Kedaton Monkey forest have been considered suitable and appropriate with their needs.}
